MMORPG.com: Darkfall was one of the most anticipated games on the MMO radar several years ago. Over time, a lack of information has led to whispers of vaporware or cancellation. Can you make a statement regarding the health of the production and what fans should expect in the weeks and months to come?

Tasos Flambouras: Darkfall is actually more anticipated than ever. Website traffic, community activity, messages, inquiries by press, fans, business, employment inquires etc. are some of the indicators. The response to our unpublicized clan beta invitation has been overwhelming. All this makes us very happy but it’s difficult to handle when we’re in full production and all our resources need to be in development. Our information stream as a result has been toned down considerably.

As for the board whisperers, they’re a reaction to a highly anticipated and ambitious game by an independent studio. ‘Whispers’ have proven in the past to have an agenda or two behind them, and whether it’s competition, attempts at forcing information, or manipulating an active community, we shouldn’t propagate them by rehashing them.

Our commitment to Darkfall is a given. We’re proud to report that we’re in the final stages of production. Our community can look forward to a lot of new Darkfall information and material, and of course, the chance to playtest the game.
